Name: Newton Filinas

Age:
25

Build/appearance: exceptionally tall and thin, like a scarecrow. Over six and a half feet. Pallid, sunken features and a nervous tic. prominent overbite, giving a rather rodentish appearance. Slightly greasy in a nervous, unwashed, geekish quality.

Voice: breathy, hesitant and nervous with a Welsh accent and a terrible stutter that gets worse when he's upset

wikipedia
The accents of North Wales are markedly different. In North West Wales the accent is less sing-song, with a more consistently high-pitched voice and the vowels pressed to the back of the throat. The "R" sound is rolled extensively and the dark L is used at the beginning or middle of words, for example in "lose", "bloke", and "valley". The sound IPA: [z] is often pronounced unvoiced (the sound does not exist in Welsh), so "lose" is pronounced the same as "loose".

Nationality: British/Welsh

Occupation: Janitor for Feral Labs

Personality: Nervous, self conscious, attempts to be as obedient as possible, a bit like a kicked, jittery dog. He's very intelligent, but in a focalized sort of way, leaving him almost insanely gullible.

Background: After he turned eighteen, Newt had a falling out with his father, finding himself living on the streets and by his wits, and finds he is rather terrible at it. Through a chain of events, he eventually finds a home and job working as a janitor for Feral labs, where he has worked for nearly five years and slowly obtains a track-record of unfortunate accidents due to his clumsiness and occasional thoughtlessness.

A listing of all those Newt has come across in his travels and his opinions there of.

Sabin Duvert:
Definatly in need of orginizational skills, or at least a better way to differentiate between trash and important notes. Newt could have stood up for himself better, but chose not to at the time. Really.

Aubrey:
Especially stressed since her accident, evidentally, and overly protective of her pets.

Dr. Moreau:
[comments withheld]

Jamal Reedy:
Anger management needed, especially to harness the apparent rage targeted on staff members. Tried to kill Newt upon first meeting- did not sit well with the janitor at all.

Cassi:
There's something instinctively frightening about this girl, despite the fact she's been nothing but kind and helpfull to Newt. Only later does Newt realize his discomfort around snakes is undoubtably a product of his growing frogginess. He hopes to see her again sometime and appologize. That is if she doesn't find him equally scrumptious looking as he fears she does.

Awen:
Tried to break the news of the island to Newt in a blunt fashion, only to get the harassed janitor overly worked up.

Cody:

Newt's trouble-making duplex-mate. Occasionally comes over to ask Newt to play, making him awefully nervious.

Nita:
Another friendly face Newt wouldn't mind seeing again- the last time they had spent any sort of time together, he was far less green.

Colche:
User Image - Blocked by "Display Image" Settings. Click to show.
Her overly friendly and predominantly nude demenour not only makes Newt nervious, but uncomfortable. She looks like a fully grown woman, but has tea-parties involving smearing her face with chocolate and sweets. Newt's far too polite to say anything on the matter, though.

Marlow:
Newt wasn't trying to make enemies, but upon meeting this fellow, a bad situation seemed to just get worse. He hopes to see him again some day and appologize for the cleaning solution he had accidentally sprayed in the snail-man's eyes.

Natsumi:
Newt is still trying to figure out exactly what he thinks of the gecko-girl. He thinks it's love, but he's never been in love befor. Heck, he's never been comfortable around people befor. He's still playing things by ear, even if he doesn't have any anymore.

Thom:
Natsumi's friend who Newt is convinced is more than a friend. Again, the snake-parinoia comes into play, but Newt is convinced Thom is a nice person deep down- he'd have to be to deserve a wonderful girl like Natsumi.

Maryke:
One minute she's shouting and calling him disgusting, the next she's quiet and using him for help. Newt's not quite sure what he thinks of this outspoken young woman.

Joli:
She seemed depressed to Newt, and despite his attempting to buck her up, it seemed nothing was of use.

Sid:
A nice man who doesn't want to have Newt beaten, which is a plus. His sharp-bits scare the frog-man, but he tries to be unjudgmental. He's currently employing Newt as a repair-man, which has perked the poor depressed and hermitish 75% Newt up a bit.

Sayuri:
Newt is still harboring frustration with the japanese woman for not taking him seriously when he tried to tell her about the island, and then later for acting confused when he was upset. Not that Newt is difficult to not take seriously, but that's beside the point.

F:

He seems like a rather swell fellow who has a habit of leaving messes about the frog-janitor finds himself cleaning up.

Zach:User Image - Blocked by "Display Image" Settings. Click to show.
There's some demons in his head, for sure!

Seth:
Nice enough guy. Didn't understand the severity of his situation when the frog-man met him.

Tommy:
Newt wishes he could have the pleasure of meeting the bat when neither of them are busy changing.

Bia:
There is a backhistory here that's best not gotten into. Newt knew her at the labs when they both still worked there, and hold some secret together.

Freddie:
Again, another old "friend" from the labs, Freddie had made a habit of rolling Newt about in his own trashcan, or giving him the occasional black eye to worry about- this relationship hasn't changed much since Freddie's joining of this side of the fence, but Newt has a feeling he'll have the last laugh at the end.

Marshall:
Very nice penguin man who only wants to help- unfortunatly, Newt's not quite sure how to act around people being actually nice to him, which makes matters a bit awkward.

Miller:
Another friendly face, Newt felt guilty for making Miller feel guilty for being human, but then again it's not difficult to make Newt feel guilty about anything.

The Amory:
Compiling Newt's weaponry ideas here for my own reference to know what sort of supplies he'd need to gather!


long-range weapons:

Aerosol flame-guns- I'm sure there's aerosol cans of some sort all around. when the flames eventually get close enough to the can itself, the whole thing explodes as the pressure decreases inside- instant bomb. if the button is taped down, it could simply be thrown at people in question as well

home made Chlorine Gas:
materials needed: One large jar, One small bottle, 1:1 ratio (by volume) of: Household Ammonia, CHLORINE bleach (not chlorine free) (Use as pure ammonia as possible!)

Home made napalm:
materials needed: Motor Oil, soap chips or liquid soap, gasoline
alternatively: gasoline, styrofoam packing peanuts

Things to do to Jeeps:
-sugar in gas tank
-remove rubber from wiper blades, insert thumbtacks
-fill locks with glue
-pop tires/let out air

Things to hoard:
glass bottles
lightbulbs
lighters
rods/sticks/things that can be sharpened of any sort
shaving razors
aerosol cans (filled= better)


Newt's Workbench

What's actually under construction or created ICly


-Spinning wheel made from Cody's old bicycle used to spin rope
-Rope spun from tree bark
(limited only by how much time he has to make it)
-tin-can-bell alarms
(for alerting him of trespassers in his territory)
-barbecue pit
(piled rocks fuiled by home made charcoal, primarily used to prepare tea)

Confiscated by the labs!
(Time to start afresh once again)

Newt's Theme song!

The Poison Arrow
Newt Filinas the janitor frog,
With big green saucer eyes.
Always hunched over like he's a guilty man
And he keeps on eating flies.
And he's always surrounded by flies.
Sing it
Newton it seems, you need some self esteem,
Grow a freakin spine and soon you'll see,
You could face Jamal or Billy.

Newton if you grew some balls,
This humbleness you'd surpass.
Make a secret froggy janitor kung fu style
And go kick Jamal's a**,
Sing it now
Newton it seems, you need some self esteem,
Grow a freakin spine and soon you'll see,
You could face Jamal or Billy.

I know you like the ladies,
So I tell you what to do,
Just show em your tongue, that's all that you need,
They'll be on you like flies on poo,
That's a really bad analogy too,
Newton it seems, you need some self esteem,
Grow a freakin spine and soon you'll see,
You could face Jamal or Billy.

Newton it seems, you need some self esteem,
Newton it seems,
You could face Jamal or Billy.

Newton it seems, you need some self esteem,
Grow a freakin spine and soon you'll see,
You could face Jamal or Billy.

Newton it seems, you need some self esteem,
Grow a freakin spine and soon you'll see,
You could face Jamal or Billy.

Newton it seems, you need some self esteem,
Grow a freakin spine and soon you'll see,
You could face Jamal or Billy.
